For the past three years WHS students and staff participated in a Pay it Forward/Inspire Change Week during March. It stemmed from a desire to help students at WHS cope with the loss of their good friend Cole Trusler in December 2011 from a car accident, as well as another classmate, Ben Johnson who passed away in May of 2010 from Nueroblastoma, a childhood cancer.
